Introduction: Instigating "Brown Scares" and "Moral Panics" about the Radical Right and "Fascism"
Chapter 1: Biases and Double Standards in Assessing the Role and Impact of Ideologies
Chapter 2: Towards an Academic Consensus about the "Radical Right" and "Fascism"?
Chapter 3: The Islamic Radical Right (Islamism) is a Greater Threat to Democracy and Security than "Fascism"
Chapter 4: The Never-Ending "Brown Scare" since 1945-Is "Fascism" Really "On the March"?
Chapter 5: Some Suggestions for Improving Analyses of the Radical Right
This book argues that the political and security threats posed by the domestic radical right in Western countries have been consistently exaggerated since 1945. This has allowed governments to justify censoring and repressing their political opponents, including many who cannot be fairly described as being affiliated with the radical right.
